AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the election districts
  in the city of Lockport school district

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Section 2604 of the education law, as  amended  by  chapter
741 of the laws of 1954, is amended to read as follows:
  S 2604. Division   of   city  school  district  into  school  election
districts; elections held in schoolhouses.   The board of  education  of
each  city  school  district  shall  adopt a resolution on or before the
first day of April, preceding the  first  annual  school  election  held
hereunder,  dividing  the  city  school  district  into  school election
districts.  The city school district shall be so divided that if circum-
stances will permit, school election districts will be coterminous  with
one  or more general election districts, and that, if practicable, there
shall be  a  schoolhouse  in  each  election  district.    The  election
districts  thus  formed  shall  continue  in existence until modified by
resolution of the board of education.  Such resolution shall  accurately
describe  the  boundaries  of such election districts by streets, alleys
and highways, when practicable.  School elections shall be held in  such
school  election  districts  so  far  as  may  be possible in the public
schoolhouses therein.  If there is no public  schoolhouse  in  a  school
election  district, the board of education shall by resolution designate
the place where the election in such district shall  be  held.  Notwith-
standing  the  foregoing provisions of this section, the board of educa-
tion of THE LOCKPORT CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT OR any city school district of
a city of less than ten thousand inhabitants may, by resolution,  desig-
nate the entire city school district as a single school district.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.


 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
